Brenda, Tammy and Susan, my heart goes out to you. I have so many good memories of Frank over the years and I will forever treasure the handmade wooden pieces that I have received from him. They will have a special place in my home and heart.

Brenda, Tammy and Susan: Words can help console you but may the Lord give you comfort and strength as you face the days ahead. Brenda you have truly been his faithful companion, sitting hour after hour by his side. May you be able to get the needed rest i
